Fortunately, you can still meter using the stopped-down metering approach on most cameras. By pressing a depth-of-field button, the camera is placed into stopped-down metering mode too. The lens is stopped down to the taking aperture automatically on some adapters. On T-mount and other purely mechanical mounts, you may have to turn the aperture ring to the desired taking aperture. In either case, the camera is now metering at the actual stopped down aperture. You can set the shutter speed and aperture as desired, based on your meter reading. 2, record 7, English, - stopped%20down%20metering

L'hypothèse selon laquelle l'oreille moyenne transmet la totalité de l'énergie reçue n'est pas toujours vérifiée. En effet, les osselets sont rattachés à la boite cranienne par de petits muscles qui peuvent lors de sons trop intenses, bloquer en partie cette transmission afin de protéger l'oreille. La contraction de ces muscles est involontaire. C'est ce que l'on appelle le réflexe stapédien. Celui-ci, très efficace au début de l'exposition, a tendance, sous l'effet des agressions sonores répétées dans le temps, à voir son action s'estomper peu à peu, et de façon irréversible. C'est pourquoi, il n'est pas inutile de supprimer les sons "impulsifs", même occasionnels, afin de ne pas endommager le système protecteur que constitue le réflexe stapédien. Ce rôle protecteur joue essentiellement pour la personne qui provoque le bruit. En revanche, pour la personne qui subit les bruits impulsifs provoqués par une autre personne, le réflexe stapédien joue en quelque sorte trop tard. Aussi un bruit impulsif est-il plus traumatisant pour celui qui le subit seulement, que pour celui qui le provoque et le subit. 2, record 9, French, - niveau%20des%20bruits%20impulsifs
